Introducing the CNA Ceremonial Candle Holder Competition!!

An opportunity for students to design and build a symbol of CNA

Catholic Network Australia (CNA) seeks a unique and meaningful candle holder to be used at all official events. This holder should embody the collaborative and inclusive spirit of CNA, fostering a sense of unity and belonging amongst its diverse members. The winning submission will receive a $500 prize. 

Design Goals:

• Embody Collaboration and Inclusion: The design should visually represent the collaborative and inclusive nature of CNA, ensuring all participating organisations feel represented and valued.

• High-Quality Materials: Utilise high-quality, sustainable materials. The holder will require regular shipping nationwide and must withstand the rigors of travel.

• Functionality: The final product should be sturdy, functional, and accommodate a standard 78mm x 58mm candle.

Ensure the design adheres to principles of accessibility and inclusivity, avoiding any elements that might unintentionally exclude or offend individuals from different cultures or backgrounds.
